On October 3, 2006 Tammy Allgood was joined by three librarians and a contract specialist from the Collections and Scholarly Communications Office at ASU Libraries to discuss the ongoing crisis in scholarly communication, a crisis defined by current trends in information and resource sharing that seriously affect how the academic world distributes knowledge. Access to information has traditionally been a central concern of libraries in general, but business models adopted by many publishers in our digital age have proved to be problematic.

The group also mentions updates which will be coming soon such as negotiation guides, an improved website and a podcast on copyright issues.
